To use Open Interpreter with Huggingface models, set the `model` flag:

<CodeGroup>

```bash Terminal
interpreter --model huggingface/<huggingface-model>
```

```python Python
from interpreter import interpreter

interpreter.llm.model = "huggingface/<huggingface-model>"
interpreter.chat()
```

</CodeGroup>

You may also need to specify your Huggingface api base url:
<CodeGroup>

```bash Terminal
interpreter --api_base <https://my-endpoint.huggingface.cloud>
```

```python Python
from interpreter import interpreter

interpreter.llm.api_base = "https://my-endpoint.huggingface.cloud"
interpreter.chat()
```

</CodeGroup>
